UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees)

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is a UN agency created in 1949 to provide assistance and protection to Palestinian refugees. It offers essential services such as education, healthcare, and social support to millions of Palestinians living primarily in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, and Gaza. UNRWA aims to help refugees achieve self-reliance and improve their living conditions while addressing their unique needs due to displacement caused by the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict and subsequent events. The agency operates based on the principles of neutrality and non-politicization.
